Tips for Scheduling Across Time Zones
- Rotate meeting times so no single person always gets the inconvenient slot.
- Send calendar invites in each person's local timezone to avoid confusion.
- Record meetings and share async updates via Loom for team members who can't attend live.
- Use Calendly to let Singapore-based contacts book a slot that works for both sides automatically.
- Set a personal "no-meetings" window at the start and end of your day to protect focus time.
